Defense Minister Israel Katz said the country is not interested in meddling in internal Lebanese politics as Israel has “learned our lessons.”

Summary

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced that Israel has “defeated Hezbollah” following a series of operations, including the assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.

The campaign included a September attack on Hezbollah communication devices, where thousands of pagers exploded in Beirut, killing 39 and injuring over 3,400.

Israeli media reported that Prime Minister Netanyahu personally approved the pager attack despite internal opposition.

Israel now hopes an international coalition encourage Lebanon to normalize relations with Israel.

      I bet you think that attack on the Israeli military base was a terrorist attack right?

        I’m not the person you are replying to, but yes, an attack on an Israeli base is a legitimate attack, not a ‘terrorist attack’.

          Thank you. I’m not sure if you recall, but in the news (not sure which site but I’m assuming some Israeli one) they portrayed an attack on some Israeli base as “murdering teenagers”.

          Those “teenagers” were 18 and were enlisted to the IDF. Those were soliders killed, not just some random teenagers off the street.

            Heh. Typical. Technically correct, but used in a way meant to be wildly misleading. Something similar is done regarding gun crime victims. One misleading stat involves “children” who are victims of gun violence. Some of these ‘victims’ are gang members in their late teens or early twenties.

        Israel is attacked so much by terrorists it is difficult to know which one you are referring to.

        Can you clarify which sudden and deliberate attack on a fellow allies military installation you mean?

          What an easily manipulated little fool. Fascists are just reaping and reaping what they’ve sown. Reducing words to simple labels for “us” vs. “them” without looking at how those actions compare and contrast.

          By definition I’m the good guy, by definition you’re the bad guy, anything else is too hard on my feeble brain.

          It’s not your fault, you might forget to breathe if you try to apply that thing.

            So after picking through your word salad, I take it you’ve lost track of which terrorist attack on Israel you are referring to then?
